From The "Where Are They Now?" Files

It seems the now 69 yr old John Edwards, former vice-presidential candidate turned personal injury lawyer (ambulance chaser), is now all but forgotten. Do any of you remember him?

I do. His first wife died of cancer. He was quite an eloquent speaker too.

@Fungirlmmm He also lost a teenage son in a Jeep accident in the late 90's. My heart goes out to him in that loss. Wasn't he also found not guilty in his trial or something?

@Fungirlmmm Sorry to hear about his son and his first wife. I'm beginning to regret picking on the man for his underwhelming political career.

@SW-User No regrets. I just remember the democrat party in the Carolinas had high hopes for him and it all fell apart. I actually heard him speak during that time with other democrats and republicans. I took away that he was very suave and educated, but I tend to shy away from corruption. (And that has nothing to do with political affiliation.) I just like to know where someone legitimately stands and he was proven in many ways not to be trustworthy.

@Fungirlmmm Yes - NOT trustworthy.

"Democrat" party? Hmmm... your politics lean right?

@SW-User Middle normally. I don't ever vote straight ticket. I research every candidate before I go to the polls and i watch them closely to make sure they honor what they promised. my phone changed that for me btw.

@Fungirlmmm Well said (as usual).
